Protect Your Most Valuable Asset!
by Dan Dugal
Don’t let data loss ruin your business or franchise in 2004.
The most cost effective and secure way is to automatically
web backup your critical data offsite with an online data
backup service called Remote Data Backups. For less than $1
a day, you can web backup up to 10 GB of your mission
critical data securely offsite to two mirrored data centers
every night, without having to physically do it yourself
using a tape, Zip or CD-RW drive. No hardware or human
assistance is required, just an Internet connection (it even
works with 56K dial-up modems) and the online backup
software Remote Data Backups available at
www.remotedatabackups.com. They use 128-Bit AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) to transmit and store your data, so it
is extremely secure.
Just because you have a backup system in place does not
necessarily mean that you are properly backing up your data.
If your data backups go away with the very computer it was
meant to back up, then you will have wasted every dollar and
every minute you have ever spent on data backups. Having
your critical business data backed up every night offsite at
two secure data centers is considerably better than just
having one of your employees (our yourself) take it home in
their purse or glove compartment from time to time. Losing
even a week of data can be devastating to any business and
can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
A secure online data backup service like
www.remotedatabackups.com takes all the guesswork out of web
data backup. Their online backup service is easy to set up
and easy to use. The cost of proactively protecting your
data with a remote data backup solution is far cheaper than
having to recover or recreate your data any day.
Their monthly rates are:
1) $9.95 / mo for 100 MB
2) $19.95 / mo for 4 GB
3) $29.95 / mo for 10 GB
4) $99.95 / mo for 30 GB
Remote Data Backups is a very cost effective insurance
policy that every business with valuable data on their
computers needs to try for themselves.

your data.
